If every county in the State had as clear
record on the use of coupons as Smyth coun-
ty there would be no question of the States
ability to control her finances. The Treasurer
of Smyth has never been offered coupon in
the payment of taxes since the use of coupons
was forbidden. Can another county show as
clear record ?-Ma7jon Conservative.
Our contemporary has right to boast. If
every county In the State had followed its
example, the State debt would now be settl-
ed by the creditors funding; there would be
no danger ahead Of any increase of taxa
tion; every citizen would have in manly
way paid his share of money towards the
support of the government which he has
set up, and 1t would have been shown that
before Patriotism, Cupidity must hide its
face.

FRIDAY MORNING. AUG. 5. 1887.

The State Convention met at Roanoke
at noon. yesterday, with nearly every dis
tinguished Democrat in the State present.
John s. Barbour, John W. Daniel, Chas.
T. O'Ferrall, John T. Harris, and many
other familiar names were there.
The convention was organized with DR..
Moffett, OF Rockingham, as temporary
to telegraph US, up to midnight last night,
of any further action. Our readers may
be certain however that the letter of Mr..
Barbour published in another column,
foreshadows the platform; as we see all
the correspondents that write from there
seem confident Of the same thing.
"Colored men, get money and ucation.
Tine former enables you to get firearms, tn e
latter teaches you how to use them"
This is from the Richmond (Va.) Planet,
edited by colored men. The editor makes
mistake in thinking education is needed
to teach how to use fire arms, the most
ignorant rufian in the land can use
them, and is the most frequent uSor of

ed by them 7 1t is not any more fair to
saddle the utterances of an ignorant and
vicious Negro editor on his people, than 1t
is to burden the whites with the foolish
utterances of an ignorant and vicious
white editor; but in the latter use his
paper soon dies out, while in the former
most dangerous effects may be produced Oh
ignorant minds before the journal expires
The intelligent whites set down theil
editor for dangerous fool; the Negroes
set down theirs as brave defender OF
their ''rights." The Negroes of Virginia
have many difficulties to overcome, evolved
from their condition in the past, and one
can but sympathize with them when be
sees them burdened with new one in the
shape of such ignorant and vicious edito-
rial teachers as those of the Planet. Ano
his sympathies will not be depressed by
the reflection that these teachings are the
outcome, if not the inspiration, of ideas
given them by certain class of white
men.

These goods were introduced here by J. A.
COCHRAN some ten years ago, and We're sold by
him until his retirement from business two years
since.
The goods have always given perfect satisfaction,
and many persons who have used them heretofore,
and have been induced to experiment with other
brands, have decided to go back to the Marya and,
believing that they are the best goods, for the
money on the market.
The mechanical condition of those Fertilizers is
ALWAYS good, and parties using, never have auy
trouble to Grill them, as they are always dry and
finely ground.
Our storage is convenient and not near the rail-

loaded without fear OF trains CT shifting engines
soaring their horses.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.--Last Mon
day John Hattie was arrested at Wills
hay camp by l.. p. Isbell, on a United
States warrant charging him with muir
der. The victim was a brother-in-law
by the name of Spaynower who lived
with the man arrested in this nation
few miles from Bloomfield, Arkansas.
Last March Spaynower disappeared
and careful search by the neighbors
was, at the time, fruitless. Two weeks
later the decomposed remains Of a
man we're found between two logs in
the woods with bullet hole in the
head. They were identified as those
OF spaynower aud certain circumstanc-
es connected Hattie with the crime.
A short time ago he was located in
this vicinity, the case having been
worked up by the people of the neigh
borhood. The dead man had some
property aud probably money, aud TO
this fact is the crime ascribed.
